Analyze the sounds of either Kevin Young’s “Ode to Pork” or Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why.” Scanning poetry may be a new experience for some but try your very best to identify the poem’s rhyme scheme and meter, as well as any variations on or deviations from that meter within the poem. You should also point out any uses of effects like onomatopoeia, alliteration, assonance, and consonance. Finally, taking all of these techniques together, how does the poet use sound as a whole to support his or her main idea?

What seems to be the meaning of the opening metaphor in Emily Dickinson’s “My Life had stood–a Loaded Gun”? Does the rest of the poem explain in what sense the speaker’s life could be described as a loaded gun? Do you notice any other figurative language in this poem?

Answer those 6 questions about For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon
1) What is the speaker’s attitude toward the war? Does the speaker seem to be focusing on a particular war in general?
2) What conventional images and figures of speech does each the poem use to express its idea about war?
3) Does any of the poem use unusual, unexpected, or shocking images or figures of speech?
4) How would you describe the poem’s tone? For example, is the tone angry? cynical? sad? disillusioned? resigned?
5) How does the poem’s form help to communicate the speaker’s attitude toward war?
6) What is the poem’s central theme?

“Guests of the Nation” by Frank O’Connor O’Connor’s story draws much of its power from its theme, that of the betrayal of the most primitive of human society, the guest-host relationship. What is your understanding of this relationship? Why does the author introduce the characters as he does in the first paragraph, before making the reader aware that they are prisoners and guards in a war? Why does O’Connor introduce the message from Mary Brigid O’Connell about her brother’s socks? Distinguish between the two Englishmen. Are they more different from the Irishmen or from each other? Why is Bonaparte so shocked when he learns what may happen to the hostages? What is the effect of Belcher’s last minute confidences? Of his apparently sincere repetition of the word chum throughout his ordeal?

Hard Times
Charles Dickens
Book the First—Sowing
Chapter One
THE ONE THING NEEDFUL*
“No, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Fact; nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on 5 which I bring up these children. Stick to the Facts, sir!”
The scene was a plain, bare, monotonous vault of a schoolroom, and the speaker’s square forefinger emphasized his observations by underscoring every sentence with a line on the schoolmaster’s sleeve. The emphasis was helped by the speaker’s square wall of a forehead, which had his eyebrows for its base, while his eyes found commodious 10cellarage in two dark caves, overshadowed by the wall. The emphasis was helped by the speaker’s mouth, which was wide, thin, and hard set. The emphasis was helped by the speaker’s voice, which was inflexible, dry and dictatorial. The emphasis was helped by the speaker’s hair, which bristled on the skirts of his bald head, a plantation of firs to 15keep the wind from its shining surface, all covered with knobs, like the crust of a plum pie, as if the head had scarcely warehouse-room for the hard facts stored inside. The speaker’s obstinate carriage, square coat, square legs, square shoulders—nay, his very neckcloth, trained to take him by the throat with an unaccommodating grasp, like a stubborn fact, as it was—all helped with emphasis.
20’In this life, we want nothing but Facts, sir, nothing but Facts!”
The speaker, and the schoolmaster, and the third grown person present, all backed a little, and swept with their eyes the inclined plane of little vessels then and there arranged in order, ready to have imperial gallons of facts poured into them until they were full to the brim.
*Luke 10: 40-42
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
